One of the global cosmetic giants, L'Oreal recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of Citizen Day, a global social engagement volunteering day that the Group offers to all of its employees in more than 60 countries where it operates, as per a release from L'Oreal.L'Oreal employees for the past 10 years, every year, have been voluntarily dedicating their services toward the welfare of other people. They have been devoting an entire day of their work time to bringing their skills and energy to hundreds of social and environmental organizations. These solidarity services include running well-being workshops for disadvantaged individuals, helping unemployed people with their resume, renovating homes for elderly or disadvantaged people, or collecting waste in nature, as per L'Oreal.“Citizen Day has become a major moment in the Group’s calendar.” said Jean-Paul Agon, Chairman and CEO of L’Oreal. “I am happy and proud that this initiative, launched 10 years ago, illustrates with each year ever more L'Oreal’s willingness and that of its employees to engage concretely with local association and community networks.” “A leader in community volunteering for employees for 10 years, the Group continues to innovate Created in 2010. This annual volunteering day has enabled employees from nearly 65 countries to offer more than one million cumulative volunteer hours to hundreds of non-profit organizations and their beneficiaries. Every year, nearly 30,000 volunteer employees take part in the various solidarity initiatives proposed during Citizen Day,” says L'Oreal.L'Oreal has consistently devoted itself to innovate with respect to employee social engagement and has come up with the L'Oreal Citizen programme, which provides employees the chance to indulge in various causes in various ways: payroll giving, sponsorship of employees’ volunteering activity and, launched this year in France, skills-based sponsorship. This new move enables employees to employ their skill-sets for a cause from two to six days and meet the desired target of a non-profit organization, according to L'Oreal.“Contributing positively to society and supporting disadvantaged people is a source of pride for all the employees of our subsidiaries around the world,” said Alexandra Palt, Chief Corporate Responsibility Officer of L’Oreal. “L'Oreal believes that it is its responsibility to provide employees with the means totake action and to provide a valuable contribution, because every action helps with regard to the current social and environmental needs.”Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the initiative. https://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
